Chapter 2

In the meantime, at the secure shrine in Japan the only remaining son of Lucifer stopped in his tracks while walking alongside his pair. Corey froze up and looked around frowning. "Something is wrong with my father. He feels like fighting to keep alive," he whispered looking up at the puzzled Matt. "I have to go there. He is with the others far from Greece," he added as his sync with Robb strengthened from him focusing more.

Suddenly he became very upset. They were sent to learn and evolve there in Japan. But now he felt like... left out and as if he was a small child and couldn't know about the important things. His father and friends were in danger and no one told them they would go out from the safety of the sanctuary…

Matt remembered how Lucifer had left with the promise that they will call them when they are needed. But maybe they didn't have time. Feeling what Corey was feeling, the taller cherub put his hand on Corey's forearm and nodded without hesitation as the urge to go and help them spread in him too.

"We go, love. They probably had their reasons, but it doesn't matter. If your father is in such a state, we have to help," he looked deep into his pair's eyes then glimpsed to the side from where he felt the presence of a spirit shaped like a fox.

"The senseis know too. Come, let's follow their messenger. We have to talk to them and ask for their help to get there fast. I feel like... we don't have much time," Matt murmured and took Corey's hand as they spread their wings and flew after the spirit in the air which led them into the bamboo forest. 

Luckily not into the caves where Matt's no-good "father" was held captive, but to the small natural lake with a tiny shrine on its edge which time after time Matt liked to visit on his own too to think or meditate. Especially in the days that followed his meeting with the imprisoned cherub.

The three senseis were already waiting for them, their leader watching them approach, while the other two were finishing some ritual by the shrine just when Matt and Corey landed a few steps away and bowed towards them.

"Come closer, young ones. We know of the problem at the other side of the world. And sense you need to aid the others," the leader said in their joint voice.

"Yes, senseis. Please help us get to my father," Corey said kneeling and bowing Japanese style, laying to the ground to show his respect and desperation.

"We already prepared the portal that takes you back to the Old Gods’ Sanctuary. From there the Sun God will help you reach your destination the fastest."

Matt copied the moves of his pair as he felt the same and as he looked up at the leader, he also sensed the worry behind the tiny smile she gave to Corey.

"Thank you very much. With your permission we would like to leave immediately as time feels short," Matt said after another bow and stood when the leader indicated that they should.

"Yes. Go and help them. They will need it. We will send your belongings after you later," she said and turned to join the other two females. The next moment they raised their hands in front of them in union, doing a complex series of hand seals while they began chanting an ancient spell in old Japanese to open the portal for them.

Taking hold of his pair's hand, Corey walked up with Matt to the forming portal of energy. Bowing his gratitude to the three female demigods, they stepped through and ended up in the depth of the sacred Greek cave.

"I knew you would come. The portal is open and will take you far," Sotiris spoke fast, very uncharacteristic of him as there was worry in his bright yellow eyes as well. "Try to keep them alive, please," he gripped Corey's upper arm meaningfully before the icy liquid energies swallowed the pair up.

The next moment they were in a forest at the foot of a mountain. They didn't need any guidance where to go, they could feel the heavy charge and tension in the air very clearly, making the fine hairs stand on end all over their bodies.

Without a word, the next moment they were in the air again, Matt's katana materializing in his right hand as he let his dark energies loose. He could keep up with his pair easily with his cherub wings.

The literal chaos of energies and that strange expanding anomaly was overwhelming, but they couldn't analyze it for too long because as they reached the edge of the main square of the town where everyone was, there was a blinding explosion.

Matt acted on instinct and turned in the air to grab onto Corey and shield them with his half-demon, half-angel wings from the shock-wave and the rubble the explosion sent their way.

"Holy fuck…" Corey mumbled as he held Matt tight. "This was huge…" he swallowed as he looked down at the clearing dust and fog of the aftershock.

The trees and all vegetation were dried ash in a massive circle around the town square. Where earlier they spotted the others close to the swirling energies, now was just black crackled ground. Even the living threes got bent from the force of the blast.

"I can feel… Jim, Seth… Samael," Corey whispered unfolding himself from the protective cherub wings. "Brent... He is there too and okay… Faintly I feel Kerim and Paolo... Maybe my father... Christos I can't sense at all," he flapped his wings looking at Matt and took off to the direction where he felt their friends from.

Matt swallowed hard as he shook off the rubble from his wings and followed his pair. He could sense the others the same way Corey did. And he also shared the worry over Lucifer's state. Christos being gone was something Matt refused to even think about...

As they got closer, his face darkened even more seeing the huge destruction the explosion caused, but the cherub also watched relieved Mick helping up Kerim, so he felt it right that he was alive too.

But he had no time to sight see as another wave of worry coming from Corey washed over him. Focusing on his pair, he followed closer and started descending towards the dusty ground near a male figure who was leaning over his father-in-law.

"Come on, my bright dawn of light... Answer me, my precious…" Samael kept caressing and gently slapping Robb's dirty face.

A little to their left Seth was trying to call his brother back to the earthly plane as well.

Samael looked at them with a pained expression. He could feel his pair alive at least. But he couldn't feel Chris... He was not sure if he died or became mortal...

Corey landed next to his father's body and touched the crouching demon's shoulder. "He is alive… I can feel it. What happened here?" he asked Seth who looked up at the landing pair.

"Glad you came. It was The Call set up by the twins," the dark God said on a brooding tone "and... they closed it," he added pressing his lips together and for now turning back to his brother who took a few weak breaths and coughed.

Kerim was grateful for Mick's help as he supported and helped him get to Christos' unmoving body. There he dropped on his knees very worried, his eyes meeting Seth's for a brief second then he put his hand over Christos' now heaving chest, letting it shine up in his angelic bright light as he started healing him. Though his light was dimmer than usual and only his hand was shining – a sign that he got weaker too from what they just did. But he didn't care. He would give his life to these Gods (and Mick).

Meanwhile a shorter and equally dirty man was fighting his way through the rubble, pure worry on his here and there bleeding face. Of course, it was Brent who dropped on his knees by the shoulder of his pair, eyes a bit teary as a heavy sigh left his lips when he heard him coughing.

"You're alive... Stay with us, my love. We'll take care of you," he promised on a shaken up voice, feeling a bit helpless.

Jim and Mick looked at each other and nodded in union as an agreement that they should protect the others while everyone pulled themselves together.

Turning his attention back from Christos to Lucifer, Matt blinked a few times, the energies of the painted figure now hitting his senses much stronger. As he put two and two together while staring at the man caressing Corey's father, he finally realized that he was finally face-to-face with Satan himself...

Of course, Corey has mentioned before that Satan was his father's pair, but Matt has never met him before. Now he couldn't stop staring at him from the shock. For years he was trained to hunt demons and their ambitious little group's biggest dream was to one day somehow hunt down Satan himself... Now Matt wanted to laugh on that. If they were no match to the Mephistopheles of Los Angeles (aka Mr. M, the demon shaman), they were a million years away from taking up on Satan himself...

The mixture of caresses and light slaps seemed to finally work, though, because suddenly Lucifer came back into his earthly vessel too, eyes popping out and gasping for air, clearly confused as he tried to sit up, grabbing his mate's arm. "Did we succeed? Is he alive? Is everyone alive?" he asked on a raspy voice.

"Yes. Yes, everyone is alive in some form," Samael chuckled helping Robb sit up and he hugged the weakened man strongly. "Never ever frighten me again like that!" he mumbled.

"Same for you, asshole…" Seth grumbled to Christos as he and Brent helped the buff man turn and cough the dust and rubble out of his airways.

Corey was still in shock, but was relieved that it seemed they were alright after all. And just to answer that thought of line of his, Paolo landed there beside them. Clearly with a much weaker glow and spirit.

"I landed on a tree," he stated, pulling out a small pine branch from between his golden feathered wing. "It's good that you're back guys. We got seriously weakened for now."

"I'm glad you're okay too, Goldie. And yes, I can feel it. We should all find some place safe and help you all heal. That blast was huge and the twins surely left some guards behind..." Corey said with a little smile watching the reunion of Jim and Paolo. Things have changed a lot for sure while they were away.

"You ever doubted that I would survive? You won't get rid of me so easily..." Robb chuckled then stifled a small cough before pecking the blood-red lips of his husband. "Oh... and I think you have a new admirer," he added and looked at the still quite shocked Matt staring. "Matt, King... it's so good to see you again, indeed."

With a small giggle Jim helped Paolo get rid of a few more branches here and there, but kept one eye on their surroundings. He was also relieved that his own pair was in one piece too, even if he felt weaker. Through their bond Jim made sure that his angel knew that he was going to help him regain his powers as quickly as possible.

"I agree with King. We should go. We are too vulnerable at the moment." That was Brent, his face reflecting the deep worry he felt for his pair. He could feel him still, even if he was... human now for real. It was quite a shock for Brent, but he knew it wasn't the first time for his pair.

"How are you feeling, Master Christos? I could heal you more," Kerim asked barely audible and still super worried.

"Everything hurts. So I must be alive," Chris smiled faintly. "We stopped The Call. Thank you all for the help. Thank you, Vega. You have to regain your strength too. I think I am as good as it gets for now," Chris leaned on Seth and stood up grunting as he was clearly shaking from the act.

"We need a place to recover. We can't go down the mountain now like this. The renegade angels will come to look at what happened…" Seth said low, hugging his human brother strong to help him stay on his feet.

"I saw the horses coming back. Also, a cliff not far. There should be a caving in the rocks. Or we can keep it safe from one side if needed," Paolo said and like on call the demon horses and the black demon unicorn galloped up to the group.

"Good. Jim, check it out with Paolo. You can still fly. I cast the horses away for now. If you find something, the strong and able to fly ones can take the others," Seth said. The horses all walked up to him and turned to fog and vanished one by one. Except for Samael's unicorn who had a high interest in Matt... Probably because of being a creature of his own from the mixed opposite energies.

As Kerim pulled back with a nod, letting his hand turn back to normal, Brent helped Seth and Christos so that the latter could stand steadier.

After the demon horses were gone, Jim looked at Seth and nodded. "Good idea. We'll try to find a suitable cave as fast as we can," he said and spread his chestnut-colored demon wings to take off, waiting for his pair to show the way.

Once they were gone, Matt's attention was drawn to the curious horse which walked closer and bent his head down to sniff towards the cherub. "Your horse?" he asked Samael as his curly hair was sniffed too. "I'm Matt. I believe you know well who I am. Nice to meet you, despite the circumstances," he added still a bit shocked but trying to be civil about meeting Satan in the flesh.

"Oh man...." Seth rolled his eyes and smirked as Chris scoffed too. Which meant that beside being wounded and weak and human he was okay.

Of course Samael knew why Seth reacted that way. And if dramatic shit they wanted, he can surely deliver that…

"No... My dark unicorn," he stood up straight and proud, grinning at Matt. "Hmm... I should have chosen to be taller today..." he mused in front of the tall cherub as he eyed him from head to toe. "Nice to meet you too, son! Of course, I know who you are. So glad my boy found such a great pair. He was making us both sick with worry... Weren't ya, little champ?" he cooed and aimed the question at Corey.

Who just stood there awkwardly... Like when a teen awkwardly brings home his new pair...
"Yeah... Sorry mom…" he laughed and shrugged as Samael gave a big warm hug to the very messed up Matt.

Matt just stood there kinda frozen, looking at his pair over Samael's shoulder while he was entrapped into that hug. "Well... I wasn't prepared for this," he finally smiled and awkwardly patted the shorter man's back. Because yeah... he didn't expect such behavior from Samael. Though somewhere this situation reminded him of the few times he acted as if he was Brent's dad. "But thanks for the compliment. I try to stay worthy to my pair."

"Your unicorn... is majestic," Matt continued, slowly finding his voice. He even went as far as holding out his hand to let the animal sniff it then bump his nose against it as if asking for some nose-rubs. Which Matt gave him, of course, the darker side of his energies reacting right away.

"You'll love him just as much as I do," Robb smiled leaning on his son's shoulder for support, but he was in a less bad shape than Christos.

"They found a cave," they suddenly heard from Mick, who clearly got a message from Jim. "We should prepare to move everyone there as quickly as the injuries allow us," the buff man added as he spread his own coil black wings.

"Alright. Mick, help me and Brent. Samael will manage, I think... King, help Vega. Matt look out for us all while we get there. I have supply in my 'pocket'," Seth dealt out the orders quickly so they could move to safety.

"Sure thing. Jim came back too," Corey said as he hugged the weekly shaking Angel of Light while Mick and the wounded Brent gathered up Chris.

"Come on, my princess," Samael giggled and picked up Robb in bridal style and leapt onto the unicorn. He winked at Matt as the magical creature paddled into the air starting slowly. Its eyes and hooves were burning in red flames as it galloped in air... like a majestic magical unicorn… with Satan in its saddle, carrying his prince…

"Maybe it's the human life... but I need to lay down after this," Chris mumbled…

"Is he for real?" Matt shook his head and laughed, especially on Robb's slightly annoyed look before he was taken away by his pair.

The arriving back Jim just caught all that and giggled too. "Oh yeah, he's for real. He also likes to flirt, which shocked me at first, but maybe you won't get that treatment as you are 'his' son's pair," he added, eyeing the cherub. In real he was trying to quickly size up how Matt was with him and Paolo too now, but for now he let that go as they had more pressing matters at hand.

"I really hope so. There's already a lot of new things to digest. Feels like we were gone for years instead of months," the cherub flashed his black eyes at the Nephilim then bowed to Seth and took off into the air to follow and protect the others.

Only Jim and Seth remained on the completely destroyed main square. As the tall man's smile faded away, he looked at the god seriously. "At least we managed to stop The Call..." he sighed, hoping that Christos and everyone else was going to be okay. "Can I give you a lift then?" he asked, turning towards the god. He never saw such an expression on his face.

"Yeah, we managed..." Seth nodded turning around and gazing at all the destruction. "You remember when you asked why you should be the hero and stop this all? I was often called the destroyer in our Trinity. But just look around, Jim…" Seth turned back to the tall man and waved his hand around.

The once nice little hidden mountain village was in ruins. The buildings were crumbled down, the trees and plants even at the surrounding forest dried out by the dark force eating up the life-energy of it all.

"Even Samael was ordered to destroy in the thought to build new after it. This... this is just pointless... and evil... If the humans destroy themselves, the world and life will carry on. But not if this keeps up," he walked to Jim with a grim expression. "Yes, please give me a lift. I need to know everyone is alright," he added not going into his feelings about his other part losing their whole powers’ third.

Jim did look around and his heart was heavy too seeing such destruction. "Yes, I remember and I see it clearly why it is important we stop this for once and for all," he agreed with Seth and opened his long arms to encircle the god with them as he spread his wings.

As if sensing what Seth was thinking about, he hummed as they lifted up into the air. "Will your brother and the Trinity be okay?" he asked on a quiet and soft tone.

Seth hugged Jim strong and maybe even sighed relived hiding in the bigger body. "He is a human who survived an explosion. I have to search for injuries in him once we get there. He will be alright. We as a one are now weaker. His power is cut off from the flow of ours. Lucifer, Vega… all of us need to recover from this now... The next new moon will set us all back with a ritual. There are a few weeks to survive till then," he mused as Jim landed in the narrow entrance of the caving.

Leading a few meters inside the cracking, they arrived in a moderate-sized hall with a little dim light and few strings of water running down on the back wall of the cave. Filtered clean by the many different layers of rocks and ground above them.

"The mountains always give life," Corey just said, filling a bottle up. "You always taught me that…" he continued as he brought it to his lying father.

It seemed everyone found their place and started to digest in safety what just went down.

Giving Seth the silent support he needed, for a change Jim didn't say or ask anything. But knowing that there was going to be a ritual that can help made him a bit calmer about the situation. Until then he was going to do his best to help and protect everyone.

Once inside, his eyes quickly darted to Mick, who simply nodded, knowing what Jim was thinking about, so the Nephilim walked to his pair, who managed to convince Brent to let him look at his injuries to tend and heal them.

"You shouldn't overdo it. They’re just scratches," Brent said again, as he would rather focus on his very vulnerable mate lying close to them.

Jim put his wings away and knelt down next to Paolo, stroking along his back on instinct.

"That's right, son. You remembered," Robb smiled at his only remaining son on the other side of the cave. "Thank you," he sat up before anyone – especially Samael – could protest and took the bottle to take careful sips.

"Heal him as you can Paolo, please. But take care of yourself too," Chris whispered to them with closed eyes and at the brink of sleep.

"No, no, no... Wake up, asshole…" Seth hurried to turn the human on his back from his side. "Vega, come to me. Help me with him," he said killing the protest of his brother with a strict stare and gently pulled the leather armor off his upper body. Pulling the shirt up also to look at what he felt... "That... is internal bleeding…" he grumbled pulling his dagger out of his belt. "Inhale deep and keep it in."

"What? Wait…" the buff man was powerless against the strong hand of Seth on his chest. The dark God worked fast as a blink and stabbed the thin blade to the darkest spot on Chris' stomach. Pulling it out to allow the built-up blood to leave and the pressure to ease up.

The human male gasped and arched his back as Vega started to heal him with his power.

The worry multiplied on Brent's face and horror joined it too while watching Seth "stab" his brother. He sent a quick and grateful look at Paolo but moved to the head of his mate to let it rest on his thighs.

"Please, stop the bleeding..." he whispered to Kerim on a hoarse and quiet voice, trying to keep it together. He didn't even dare to think about how close Christos actually was to death. The demon also was beating himself up for not thinking about internal injuries, but luckily Seth did.

"He's healing nicely, don't worry. As a human my light is too strong for him now so I'll just close and heal his injuries," Vega explained and true to his words, only his hands were glowing much dimmer than usual. "He'll be okay," he added, even sending a reassuring smile at Brent.

"Thank you. I hate it that I can't help you in any way now," he said to Christos as he kept caressing his beard and face.

"You can sleep now," Seth said as Vega pulled back and Corey brought some water to them to clean and treat the wound.

"He will heal now. Just at a human pace," he said with an assuring smile to Brent who nodded.

As Seth and Vega started to unpack blankets and pots and canned food from their personal stash pocket from between dimensions, they all made some sleeping place for them. Then Mick, Vega and Seth went out to search the forest.

"I am so glad you're back tho..." Paolo said to Matt and Corey. With Jim they were sitting near the crack in the rock that led outside.

The atmosphere was heavy on them all as they were adjusting to the new circumstances of half the group being weaker.

"We missed you too, Goldie," Matt smiled, trying to lift the mood a bit. "You've changed a lot too," he added quieter to let the pairs behind them rest. The cherub's black eyes darted from Paolo to Jim then back. He didn't miss how the Nephilim kept a hand on the small of Paolo's back even after they settled down.

"This is new to us. Lucifer didn't tell during his visits," he added, glimpsing at his pair too to see if he knew that Jim and Paolo had mated.

"Yeah. Father didn't really go into any happenings here. But I'm glad you two found a way to each other," Corey nodded getting the unsaid message from Matt that he should say something too. "I can feel your energies very in balance. It was about time, you winged pig," he chuckled quietly.

"Yeah, yeah... Had to become what I was destined to, I guess," Paolo blushed and without noticing leaned a bit against Jim's body. "So you don't know about the mess around here caused by the twins either?"

After a wider smile, the cherub narrowed his eyes a bit, sizing up both Paolo and Jim and hummed in agreement. "Yes, they are both much more balanced. And their bond is already very strong too," Matt said and now his next smile reached his eyes too, even if some questions were left in them. "I'm happy for you two. Though it doesn't mean I won't gut you if you hurt Paolo," here he flashed a warning look at Jim, but it was nothing like the looks he got from Matt before.

"Relax, relax! I've learned my lesson!" Jim smirked under his mustache with his free hand held up. "I'm falling in love with him deeper with each day, okay?"

"They mated and evolved a lot already. I think our piggy is in good hands," Corey smiled rubbing Matt's back to calm him down.

"Yeah mommy, I can take care of myself. Don't worry," Paolo rolled his eyes but laughed too. "The Call that we closed probably lured some outer dimensional bad guys too. The twins are closing up the portals one by one and it seems they want to seal away this world from the others," Paolo said what he knew so far to get the other pair informed.

But was he still their piggy too? That's what Matt was wondering about, knowing that King would feel what was on his mind as he didn't close himself off and sent him a grateful look for the efforts to calm him down. And beside that question, he could also sense that Seth and Jim were close too, but he didn't want to make the mistake of judging Jim again without knowing more about that.

Snorting and rolling his eyes with a small smile too, Matt let Paolo's joke slip and instead focused on catching up with the happenings. "Apparently it was The Call that we could feel even from Japan. The senseis were worried and helped us get to Sotiris. Hm... are they doing this to play Elohim with a new start? But what if the creatures they summon will go against them instead?" Matt mused. "And... well... if the situation is so serious then I guess that's why Samael is here too..."

"We don't know for sure what they are planning. Or who is there to answer that ancient call. Samael and Lucifer stand with us and the old gods. Honestly, I think he only wants to be close to his pair. He is fun to have around tho…" Paolo said, sending an apologetic look to Corey.

"Yeah, he is a bit hard-headed and... let's say all the damage left him with issues he and my dad are working on still. But he is the second parent figure I ever had and a very caring one too…" Corey smiled looking at said pair of his 'parents' eating quietly a bit further and it was clear how Samael acted as a worrying and over-caring wife with Robb. "I guess Christos eased up then. Hmm... Maybe because he found his pair too," he shrugged smiling and not being aware of the information he just gave out about the feud between Samael and the Trinity.

"I knew it. There was a feud between them!" Jim suddenly exclaimed on a hushed voice. Until then he was listening in silence once Matt stopped scanning him with his powers. "Sorry... none of my business," he added shrugging, but kinda proud of himself for sensing things right.

"Hm, is he right?" Matt asked curious now too as he put a hand on Corey's thigh for more physical contact.

"Well… Back in the days Samael was the tool of Elohim. And the Trinity has been caring for and teaching a group of humans for a few hundred years. They had their different opinions about how this world should be. Samael was used to do some cleansing in the Gods’ area too... And some did not fly by them easily. Especially Christos was sore for a long time because of one specific thing…" Corey said even lower and careful about how he phrased his words. "When my dad freed Samael and called the war and after that exile of many who followed them, the gods helped but Samael had to change and stay away from them. The stronghold of the Trinity was taken to a sub-dimension of their own. But that was a very, very long time ago. And aside from not letting the old rules go by now, Christos is the first beside my dad, of course, who stands up to Samael. I guess it was time to ease up those rules too by now," Corey shrugged again.

"Yeah... I hope he will be okay, though... For Brent too. He really changed a super lot too since the bonding with Chris," Paolo added looking at the pair sleeping cuddled up.

"No wonder they had tension among them," Matt hummed, noticing how Jim nodded in agreement with him. "It'll be interesting to see how things form between them now. Also, Brent has evolved so much I could barely recognize him," the cherub looked at the sleeping demon very proudly and happy.

Then he looked towards the crack from where he could feel the familiar presences of the ones who have left earlier. His dark eyes followed Seth's form as he walked to Samael and soon the seraph stood up reluctantly to follow the god back outside.

Meanwhile Mick and Kerim found a free makeshift bed for themselves too and the big guy tried to nurse his slightly protesting angel.

Using the freedom he finally had from his over caring husband, Robb walked up and sat down to the little group next to his son.

"Good to have you two back, really," he repeated his earlier lines from the town. "How are you? How are things? These two have filled you in a bit of what's been happening on this side of the world? And Matt, just so you know… my husband likes you. King grew up with us two as his mother had died in battle soon after he was born. Only one more of my child lived with us... But she is long gone now," Robb inhaled long but smiled up at his son and his pair.

Matt felt the urge to make Robb feel better. No wonder though. After his first and only meeting with his real father, he knew he would have Corey's dad(s) as the closest of having something like a father. He already liked Lucifer a lot and was glad that the bond between the father and son duo has been strengthened even before they had left for Japan.

"It's good to be back. Well, on one hand," Matt smirked. "But I have a feeling I'll start to miss that peaceful seclusion of the shrine soon," he joked. "It's also good to know that Samael... do I call him that or Satan?... likes me. I'm sure I'll feel the same way once I get to know him a bit better. But I already love how he takes care of you," he grinned. "It's good to see that romance and love can last so long – said the young cherub," he added, knowing that he and Jim were the youngest in the group.

"We have learned a lot in Japan. It was very useful. The senseis were amazing. I also met my real father... It didn't go well," Matt murmured and although his expression stayed the same, some deep sadness reflected in his eyes.

"Oh, you met him... I'm sorry Matt," Robb frowned. "He and his intentions are... not okay…" he cleared his throat. "Try Samael. He can be impulsive but he is a nice person. Maybe a little bit over-caring at times but very nice."

"I think it's good you learned about your past and origin. That was one of the reasons why the gods sent you there," Paolo said. "I get some food for us," he peeked over Robb's shoulder where Seth and Samael started to portion out the food for them all.

"I help!" Jim volunteered and jumped up to follow his pair and give some privacy to the trio as the conversation seemed to head towards more personal topics.

"Yeah. My ‘father’ is as crazy as they can get. But it was good that I had the chance to finally meet him. This way I can close that chapter of my past too," Matt shrugged. "So I need not just Corey to stay alive, but you and Samael as well. You are my family now," he murmured with a shy smile and a blush.

Corey melted on the spot from the love-filled confession of his pair. Not caring about anything else, he just pulled Matt to him and kissed him deeply.

Robb chuckled but stood and walked to Seth and Samael too for some food.

The rest of the day they just rested and gathered their strength. By the time darkness fell, Seth joined Brent and Chris.

"When we went out to look around, we could feel hiding energies of fallen ones. They were moving on the other side of the valley. We all are weaker now. So for safety reasons we agreed with Sotiris that he’ll keep the portal ready till noon for us. And if anyone else discovers it before that, he shuts it down. We are many but not used to being without our full powers. In the morning we try to reach the portal. Samael brings some of his Khazra demons and please call some of your warriors too, Brent. And you be careful with your fragile life now," he aimed the last grumbled words to his brother who just rolled his eyes.

"I’ll do all to help to keep everyone safe," Brent nodded.

"Thank you. Let us rest now. It will be a long day tomorrow..."
